I originally wrote about this innovative product a few months ago, you can see the original article HERE.

I recently had the opportunity to try the Warmer Set from, ColorOn Professional, which included 2 pairs-Ibiza (neutral brown), 2 pairs-Sunset Beach (coral), and 1-Envy (green). Also comes with a tiny brush and setting powder to set your makeup.

Description: Eyeshadow applicators, just stick, peel off, and voila! You have makeup on your eyes- dazzling! Our debut product, colorOn Professional Instant Eye Shadow Applicators, can make anyone look as if they have a make-up artist on call. A patented, revolutionary application technology, colorOn Professional is so easy, fast and fun to use that it appeals to everyone, from the makeup junkie to the makeup artist to the makeup-averse. Imagine pillowy-soft disposable applicators already laden with mineral cosmetic eye shadows in colors and designs ranging from subtle daytime to smoldering evening looks, created to suit every skin tone and ethnicity.

These are single-use, hygienic, hypoallergenic applicators that require no makeup skills, no brushes or secondary applicators. Imagine an eye shadow that is waterproof, crease-proof, and long-wearing that transfers to the eyelid with just a touch. The result is nothing short of amazing: A professional, flawless look every time.

Product Overall: 2 out of 5Price: $18-$30 a box

My Experience: It's a VERY interesting concept, I mean there are many of us, myself included who have days where I am running late and don't have time to really sit there and do my makeup, blend, and all that good stuff. So it's a cool idea to have something that you can just apply in a few seconds, blend, and you're done. It was especially fun to do as well BUT I personally enjoy sitting there and blending, coming up with different looks, etc.

Consistency: Cream-based.

PROS: Great for people who are on the go, or gals who are not the best at makeup application but still want something quick and easy.

CONS: Even after you apply it, you still have to fix it. You have to blend the colors yourself so that it doesn't show the grid of the paper, you have to apply the setting powder that is included, AND it doesn't fit all eye shapes at least from what I could see. As you will see in these pictures, it took up my whole entire lid!

Overall: I think i'll stick to the normal way of applying makeup, since it's a lot of fun for me, I can produce more looks and various combinations. This is a cool idea, but you really gotta work with it which means more time wasted.

What I chose, "Sunset Beach":Clean face! Lipstick is NYX's Round Lipstick in "Sunflower"Apply the applicator on my eye like so...

With your other hand, use your finger to rub it on your lid back and forth, press firmly to ensure you get an even amount of color:

Do the other eye!

Blend and get rid of the "paper marks" and apply the setting powder included. Since it's a creamy eyeshadow (but not overly creamy that it's sliding), just dab on the setting powder all over your lid to avoid it from creasing and coming off...

Finished Eye:Finished Face: (I didn't put any eyeliner or mascara so that it's much easier to see the color and detail)

Hi vanessaI just love ur blog. Recently started visiting. U showed me tht expensive makeup need not be neccessary. Thanks bcoz sometime i feel ysl dior and chanel are such a rip off.Personally i didnt like it. How many shadows the box have

Sis, you're gorgeous even without color. I think that I like it more though when you do your own makeup, hah. This looks great still, but I think you've just spoiled me with YOUR way of doing your eyes.

When I read your first post, I was wondering when you will do an update on this product. I'm so glad you did a review on this thing. Really helpful! I visited the website but I wasn't interested in trying some because the eye colors or looks just did not look tempting at all. It's good to read your review! Thanks!

wow! thanks for this post, I didn't even know such thing exists :) But seeing the pictures, honestly, just based on pictures, it doesn't look bad, for a quick eyeshadow make up!!! but the others are right, there are eyes that are different and smaller, like mine, it would be quite difficult to use i think for me

Hi Vanessa! When I first saw this product, I wasn't convinced it would actually save time. Your post confirmed my suspicions! :P

I'm going to start using the Physicians Formula Tinted Moisturizer soon. I note from your previous post that your recommend using a wedge sponge to apply the product. Do you mean I should squeeze the product onto the sponge and then dab all over my face? Or that I should dab a few spots on my face and then use the sponge to blend? Thanks for your help!

i thought the shadows were supposed to go on darker shade nearest lashline and lighter shade towards browbone.... the simple look.... but i think it looks cute the way you applied it mind you.. a little blending towards the top would be better..anyways i love your eye looks but as a monolid.. i can't... i just can;t... =(

hmmm interesting...i think i prefer to do makeup myself as well...because the sticker color would go past my eyebrow! i think the concept could work eventually...with a little more work...but quick eyemakeup can also be done in 2 minutes...the time it takes to apply, blend and set the sticker...oh well! i love all the nifty products you try out!
